Raees releases in Egypt and Jordan

After creating a wave in India and Europe, Raees just got released in Egypt and Jordan. Shah Rukh Khan took to Twitter to inform his fans about the same.

Set in the 1980s Gujarat, Raees stars SRK in the role of a bootlegger. The movie also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Mahira Khan, Zeeshan Ayyub, Narendra Jha, and Atul Kulkarni.

Despite facing sever competition from Hrithik Roshan starrer Kaabil, Raees did exceptional business in the Indian market. But the competition prevented the movie for crossing the 200 crore mark.

Behind the facade of fiction, Raees is actually a dramatization of actual events and despite the maker's efforts to project it as a work of fiction in its entirety the reality, albeit muffled, speaks for itself. Actually, the eponymous character of Raees is said to be inspired by criminal Abdul Latif's life.

The movie is perhaps best know for the Sunny Leone item number 'Laila Main Laila'.The success of Raees has proven yet again that SRK is a force to be reckoned with as far as Bollywood is concerned. Even at the age of 51, he seems unstoppable. Some many interesting SRK movies are lined up including the ones with Imtiaz Ali and Aanand L. Rai.
